As I'm editing my current project, I'm looking to bring an artist into the fray. It'll obviously be a little bit until my edits are done, but I would like to get a jump on this venture.

I've never worked with an artist, so I'm aiming to get your feedback on your experience as an artist who worked with a writer. I really want to be a solid, positive collaborator, so I would like to know anything you can offer to help me get a head start on that end.
